20 years ago I created a programming language ZS for the Zodiac Interactive company. This language has three unique features:
- It is safe
- It never leaks memory and resources
- It has no GC-pauses and overheads
It's been in use for 20 years. It was a secret technology behind three Emmy Awards and numerous “impossible” contracts.
If you've ever had a cable TV set-top box from Cablevision, Altice, Charter, Rogers, Spectrum/ODN, Cable Bahamas, T-Mobile/Deutsche Telekom or handful of smaller cable TV operators, you had probably used applications written in that language. And these applications:
- had months and years of uptime
- ran on a very decent hardware even by 20-year-old standards
- dealt with enormous amounts of media content
- performed at "impossible" framerate without pauses and hiccups
Just a few examples:
A year ago:
- I reevaluated and extended the best ideas I tested-out on that language
- closed number of minor loopholes
- added the efficiency of C/C++ (now it compiles to machine code)
- implemented the built-in multithreading
- extended expressiveness and resilience, and thus created a new open-source programming language - Argentum
Nowadays Argentum is the only efficient and open source language in the world totally free from memory leaks, having no random pauses and overheads.
But Rust/Kotlin...
Rust, C++ and Swift can leak memory and crash on unsafe code, Argentum cant.
Go, Dart and Kotlin have random pauses and leaks, Argentum doesn’t have any.
And its core ideas were tested in the industrial-level environments for decades.
